Author: Jonathan Swift [More Titles by Swift]

Carteret was welcomed to the shore
First with the brazen cannon's roar;
To meet him next the soldier comes,
With brazen trumps and brazen drums;
Approaching near the town he hears
The brazen bells salute his ears:
But when Wood's brass began to sound,
Guns, trumpets, drums, and bells, were drown'd.

[The end]
Jonathan Swift's poem: Epigram On Wood's Brass Money
